Dave Travise isn't the average trader, his routes cross the Galaxy, or at least the Federation bit of it, and keeping busy helps him to forget his past. Trouble is, forgetting is hard, and sometimes letting go can be too painful. His ship, the “Freefall” is his past, and that doesn’t help.
Then one day, out of the blue, excitement comes back into his life, in the shape of a dead girl and a stolen disc, and his world turns upside down.
Despite his best efforts, and before he really knows how, events have taken control of his life, and he finds himself at the centre of a Galaxy-wide conspiracy, chasing the answers that explain the past and may hold the key to the future.
With the truth to reveal, he finds himself pursued by those who want it kept secret. And they will go to any lengths to protect the lie.
The story goes from the civilised centre to the edge of exploration. A cast of pirates, smugglers and legendary explorers all play their part in a story that’s older than all of us.
Freefall is the first in a series of novels, set in the not so distant future, when man has colonised space, but brought all his old vices and fears along for the ride.
